Microsoft releases first Windows 10 Redstone 4 preview for HoloLens

Windows 10 build 17123 for HoloLens is now available for download, but installing it is a little complicated.

It's been a long time since HoloLens last received a major Windows 10 update. The last was in 2016 with the Anniversary Update, and hasn't received any feature updates since. Today, that all changes however, as Microsoft has finally released a preview build of Windows 10 Redstone 4 for HoloLens!

Installing Redstone 4 for HoloLens is a little different from normal Insider Preview builds. Instead of getting it through Windows Update, you have to manually flash a recovery file with the build via the Windows Device Recovery Tool. This is likely because there is no direct upgrade path from the Anniversary Update to Redstone 4.

This preview is available to all HoloLens users, however, please note that installing this preview will erase all of your content and restore your device to factory settings. Like any pre-release software, you may encounter bugs and other issues along the way. For this reason, Preview builds are made for people who know their way around HoloLens and don't mind frequent updates with significant changes.

Microsoft has detailed how to install the preview via the Windows Device Recovery Tool, which you can check out here.

Regarding the update, here's what's new!
